2 CMEMS Ocean State Report: Baltic Sea inflow Eutrophication, hypoxia, low sea level event

3 Eutrophication: summer bloom coverage Figure 2. Time series of summer bloom spatiotemporal coverage (day km2) ( )

4 Eutrophication: bottom oxygen Oxygen situation near the seabed in the Baltic Sea in 15 August 2014, 2015 and 2016, BAL MFC Oxygen situation near the seabed in the Baltic Sea in August 2014, 2015 and 2016 SYKE

5 BOOS + INSTAC Integrate Fixed platforms ftp.boos.org Integrate Tide gauges Integrate Moored buoys Integrate Ferryboxes Vessels Distribution of In-situ products BOOS Users

6 Platforms SMHI acquires data from ~300 fixed oceanographic stations ~10 ferryboxes + 5 icebreakers ~800 CT stations in the Baltic Sea Fixed platforms (FP) Tide gauges (TG) Moored buoys (MB) Ferrybox-lines (FB) Ice-breakers (FB) Monitoring stations (CT)

7 Coloured dissolved organic matter, CDOM fdom measurements in several ferries since 2011, in Utö since 2015 Huge increase of CDOM from Bothnian Sea to Bothnian Bay. Late summer increase. Closer evaluation needed to fine-tune Baltic C-budget

8 Nurtient monitoring Water samples in 2015 on M/S Finnmaid Marine Research Centre

9 SHIP - Implementation project at SMA-SMHI Targets in the SHIP project directive: - One common and harmonised Swedish tide gauge network - Sea level data of better accuracy, continuous time series - Open and faster access to quality controlled real-time and archive data - Leads to that the objectives of the FAMOS Odin is achieved: safer and more cost effective shipping routes

10 Present Swedish tide gauge networks Class I Upgrade with logger 26 stations (23 SMHI + 3 SMA) Class II Upgrade without logger 27 stations (27 SMA) Class III Unchanged, temporary 5 stations (3 SMHI + 2 SMA) Class IV Will be phased out 5 stations (1 SMHI + 4 SMA)

11 Future Swedish tide gauge network Real-time data in RH2000 from 53 stations 1-min values with 1 cm accuracy Real-time QC + Archive MQC Class I Upgrade with logger 26 stations (23 SMHI + 3 SMA) Class II Upgrade without logger 27 stations (27 SMA) Class III Unchanged, temporary 5 stations (3 SMHI + 2 SMA)

12 Present work Specification for a procurement of two different sensor are finalized All stations will be connected to RH2000 (BSCD2000) in 2017 Joint service organisation SMA-SMHI: levelling, maintenance, service personel etc. Inventory of stations and test of equipment will continue Implementation of RTQC-routines to all data

18 First testing deployment of the Stolpe Channel Buoy Example of results from February

19 IOPAN bio-optical activity on the Baltic about 4-5 bio-optical cruises each year stations on the each cruise one of the goals - calibration and validation of satellite data

24 Finnish Meteorological Institute FMIs Argo history ARGO_FIN 2010 July, Atlantic Ocean since then 2011 first short tests in the Baltic Sea 2012 May December first long deployment in Bothnian Sea August, first long deployment in Gotland Deep Now, 21 Argo missions, 5 active in May missions in the Atlantic/North Sea, 3 active in May missions in the Baltic, 2 active in May 2017 Baltic Sea floats reused Data from the 21 floats is available in Coriolis Argo data center Finland is a partner in Euro-Argo (FMI is representing unit)

25 Challenges in Baltic Sea Brackish water and large variations in density Floats need to be balanced for a certain area Heavy marine traffic risk of collision Seasonal ice cover ice avoidance algorithms Shallow depths constant monitoring needed, buoyancy accuracy ±10-30 m NOTE! It has turned out that standard floats work in the Baltic Sea. photograph by Petra Roiha, FMI 25

26 First experiments in the Bothnian Sea in 2012 Half a year mission May 17 -> Dec 5, 2012 Over 200 profiles acquired Managed to stay all the time away from shores Required constant modifying of the diving instructions to avoid bottom contact

36 Outline of PAH concentration measurements Analysed 55 ship voyages ( ), 960 datapoints each, in all e.g. very good ensemble for statistical analysis Max PAH concentration 0,36 µg/l Remarkable variability of PAH concentrations near the coasts and open sea General pattern of PAH concentration spatial distribution seems to be stable No sudden concentration rises which directly would indicate the oil spills, have been detected during the observation periood, all PAH comcentrations stay far below those defining the oil spill Some anomalies of PAH concentrations were noticed and could be investigated further although amplitude of such anomalies were in same order with UviLux sensor signal/noise level

37 Summary Asset for in-situ oil detection and monitoring is developed based on FerryBox technology and equipped with on-line data management Test of the system on board M/S BALTIC QUEEN performed and 2 month of data single measurement points statistically analyzed, further analysis foreseen Measured PAH concentrations are not absolute values, but rather than relative, but still variability patterns could be estimated Fouling problem should lessen, when new cleaning system (more frequent) will be operational Validation of UviLux sensor against lab analysis is foreseen in May 2017, report in August 2017
